Manchester United are nearing the start of the new season as the transfer window rumbles on. Michael Carrick’s side have brought in several new signings as the manager looks to improve his squad.
Youri Tielemans and Andrey Santos have been at the centre of United’s midfield rebuild following Casemiro’s departure to Inter Miami. Experienced goalkeeper Karl Darlow has also arrived at Old Trafford, alongside young shot-stopper Kit Margetson and attacking prospect Tynan Thompson.
United have been linked with moves for several targets, including Arsenal’s Myles Lewis-Skelly and Newcastle full-back Lewis Hall. However, Marcus Rashford's future remains a topic of discussion after Barcelona’s decision not to sign the forward permanently.
Meanwhile, United striker Benjamin Sesko is also claimed to have attracted interest from Bayern Munich. Here, Mirror Football looks at some of the biggest stories surrounding the club.
Marcus Rashford given fresh transfer option
Turkish giants Fenerbahce have reportedly made contact over a possible move for Marcus Rashford. The 28-year-old faces an uncertain future at United after Barcelona opted not to trigger their £26million buy option at the end of his loan spell.
The Sun reports that Fenerbahce are prepared to “break the bank” for Rashford if the England international is prepared to join the club. It is claimed that the forward is one of three players on a shortlist, which also includes Crystal Palace's Ismaila Sarr and AC Milan's Rafael Leao.
It is reported that Fernerbahce have made contact with Rashford’s representatives to gauge his interest in joining the club. Rashford scored and assisted 14 goals apiece for Barcelona last season but the Catalan side decided to sign forwards Anthony Gordon and Karim Adeyemi this summer.
"What I can say about Marcus is I appreciate a lot to work with him,” Barcelona boss Hansi Flick said. "Sometimes it's not always that you do know what happens with players who are on loan. I think our situation is not easy for that.
"But I appreciate working with him a lot; he's a fantastic player and a fantastic person. I think also the team miss him, I will miss him, but it's life, this is what we have to accept."

Bayern Munich stance on Benjamin Sesko emerges
Bayern Munich reportedly remain interested in United striker Benjamin Sesko. The German side have previously considered a move for the forward and still view the 23-year-old as potentially part of the club’s long-term transfer plans.
CFBayern Insider reports that Sesko continues to be a “very interesting” option for the club. Harry Kane currently leads the line for Bayern but it is claimed that the England captain could occupy a deeper role in the future, leaving space for another centre forward in the team.
Bayern have signed Ismael Saibari from PSV Eindhoven, reducing the need for another new striker. However, the report adds that Sesko remains on Bayern’s list of options. Sesko ended his debut season at United by scoring seven goals in 13 games under Carrick.
